Hi Frances,
A Canadian company I've heard about is Walker's World:
http://www.walkersworld.com/
About 3 years ago. we took a walking holiday in Southern
Italy with an English Company called HF Holidays. We thought
it was excellent and would go with them again. The leaders
are all volunteers so don't expect anything too slick but we
had very comfortable accomodation with some excellent local
guides and very full and interesting days. The group was
small - about 12 - I believe and the only disappointment was
the food in the hotel which was definitely geared to English
Tourists! (web address deleted by mod Linda - not working)
If you e-mail them, they will send a brochure to you and you
will see from that there are many different types of
vacations from which to choose throughout Europe.
By the way, through an error on our part, we were scheduled with an "Explorer" Tour which has more of an emphasis on sightseeing and a bit less on Walking. That was perfect for us but you may be in better shape than we are. All the best, Judy, Abbotsford BC |
